The Great Plains Super Launch 2007 will be hosted

be held in Grand Island, Nebraska over the weekend of July 6 - 8, 2007.
Friday's balloon conference will be held in a meeting room of the Howard Johnson - Riverside Inn.
Launch sites have yet to be finalized, but will be within 30 minutes of Grand Island.
